Product Information
Our 48 month Comté from Marcel Petite has been specially matured to develop an amazingly complex flavour that will have you coming back for more and more – sweet roasted nuts, hints of yeastiness, rich cream and an echo of grassy mountain pastures. The texture retains a smooth consistency, but becomes firm and condensed over time. Small, white amino acid crystals can be seen through-out the interior – the sign of a well matured cheese. Very Rare indeed!

Gorgonzola Dolce Latte Dop – Airfreighted in
This is the milder version of Gorgonzola – sweet and gentle, rich and creamy. There is still a touch of spice from the pale blue mould, but it is quickly tamed by the incredible creaminess of this cheese. Gorgonzola Dolce Latte has a luscious texture with some super-runny patches here and there. Even people who say they don’t like blue cheese like this.

Morbidi Pecorino Stagionato in Fossa
This cheese is made according to the ancient practise of ‘pit-maturation’ – this process can’t be rushed and is well worth the wait. Young cheeses are wrapped in a cheese-cloth then placed inside a small stone pit in the ground, which is sealed over to restrict oxygen flow. After a few months the cheeses are retrieved, transformed by the unique environment. A rich, savoury flavour and pronounced bite develop to compliment the sweet, grassy notes in the cheese.
